              <p>Let's be honest, there are worse fates. </p><p>For a <a href="http://dragonage-kink.livejournal.com/16181.html?thread=62647349">kink meme prompt</a>: <i>Krem mentioned that part of the Charger's code of conduct was to see that any soldiers or other mercenaries taken prisoner receive the best treatment - food, water, healing if necessary, and so on. "We'd want the same for any of ours that got captured", and that this is the professional expectation among most respectable mercenary bands (as respectable as one can be). What about when that prisoner is Vashoth - part of a mercenary band of Tal-Vashoth, the Valo-Kas - and your leader is secretly a Qunari Spy?</i></p>

“No hard feelings, right? We’ll let you go as soon as our mission is over.”

Herah huffed at the androgynous human who was speaking to her and squirmed to get a more comfortable position despite her tied wrists and ankles. She glanced at her unconscious teammate sprawled by her side and the bandages covering his head and leg. “If Kaariss gets more than a bump from this, it’s not my feelings you’ll have to worry about.”

“Stitches checked him, he should be fine. We take good care of our prisoners, don’t worry.” The warrior was surprisingly earnest in his declaration.

“I know,” Herah replied, “you have a reputation. I wouldn’t have surrender otherwise.” Many others wouldn’t bother with medical care for their prisoners. Herah would rather fight them all on her own and use her meager medical knowledge to help her friend rather than surrender to such bastards.

The Bull’s Chargers were another matter.

Although their companies were hired by two belligerent nobles, they had given Kaaris and her shelter, water and healing. Despite being tied up, they weren’t going to die from neglect anytime soon. Herah was even feeling too warm, too close to the fireplace for her taste.

“Heard that, Chief? They heard of us.”

Herah turned to see the Iron Bull standing in the doorway. She had heard about him and she had caught sight of him on the field, but it was different to see him without needing to focus on his greataxe. For her, who had lived with (Tal-)Vashoth for years, he didn’t look very impressive. Oh, he was tall and strong. He also had a great pair of horns, but aside from that he wasn’t much to look at.

He smirked at her when she stared a little too long. She raised an unimpressed eyebrow.

“Of course they did! The Valo-kas, uh? It’s just smart to know the competition.” He stepped forward and crouched by her side with his arms across his knees. “I’ll let your leader know that you’re fine. What’s your name?”

“Herah.”

He hummed. “A pretty name. Is it a good one?”

“Time is a precious thing,” she said, repeating the words of her mother.

“True.” He tilted his head as he glanced at her tied up ankles. “Yet, right now, I’m afraid it won’t work in your favor.”

“I’m patient.”

“Good. I like to take my time,” he drawled softly.

A shiver went down her spine. Maybe she should review her first opinion… The Iron Bull had charisma and a piercing eye which warned her that he was smarter than any Orlesian could imagine. He also had a voice to die for… or rather to blush for.

“Do you flirt with all your prisoners?” She asked to diffuse the tension.

He smirked. “I have a thing for red-haired.”

He stood up and walked away without waiting for an answer, smacking his second in the shoulder, probably for the eyeroll Krem gave him behind his back when he flirted.

Herah looked away, suddenly feeling more self-conscious of her disheveled state than she should be as a prisoner.

Kaaris was sent back to the Valo-kas a week later, as a sign of good faith to speed up his recovery. As for Herah, the Chargers didn’t even bother to tie her up anymore. There was always someone with her of course, and several others on her way to freedom, but they were mostly relying on her own sense of honor: we’re being good jailors so be a good hostage.

Still, this was starting to feel like psychological torture.

“No,” she refused, leaning backward to avoid the brush.

“Come on,” Dalish tried to coax her, “I really want to learn how to do your warpaints. The Chief always grumbles about doing it himself, especially on his left side.”

“I’ll do it if you stop trying to smother me with vitaar. It’s not toxic for us but it doesn’t mean we’re supposed to eat it either,” she grumbled, grabbing the pot of paint and ignoring the brush. It was supposed to be applied with fingers… when it wasn’t poisonous for your species, of course. “The Iron Bull!” She called when she walked into the main room of the inn that the Chargers were using as base camp. Every pair of eyes turned towards her (she usually kept quiet). She ignored them in favor of the giant man standing in front of the fireplace. “Sat down. I’m doing your vitaar.”

He raised his visible eyebrow. “You are?”

“If it stops Dalish from using me as a canvas, yes, I am.”

“Wait!” The elf called behind her. “Here, I prepared some white one too!”

“Damn you, elf. What I am, your personal make-up artist?” Herah grumbled.

The little devil grinned at her cheerfully. “Yes! Show me!”

“Vashedan. [[1](%E2%80%9C#note1%E2%80%9D)] Stupid big blue eyes,” she swore under her breath in Qunlat.

Bull burst into laughter and sat down to repeatedly hit his knee with his hand.

“Shut up,” she growled at him, lightly kicking him in the shin. She dragged a stool forward with a twist of her ankle to sit down in front of him. “Which one do you want?”

“The Intense Rashvine.” He replied while pushing up his eyepatch.

“Alright.” He could have chosen something more difficult to annoy her. She covered two fingers in red and dabbed at his cheekbones. “How sensitive are your scars?”

“You can go at it. I’m tougher than that.”

“Men,” she sighed and shook her head. “Don’t listen to this idiot, Dalish. Vitaar should never, in any circumstances, be applied on fresh and sensitive scars. If he gets a cut over vitaar, you need to clean it from the inside to the outside, to avoid putting paint in contact with blood as much as possible. Water would just smudge it so use some kind of alcohol,” she explained, aware that Krem was listening just as intently and that Stitches joined them as soon as he heard her talking about injuries. “Some colors can be abrasive for the eyes, especially if they’re already sensitive because of gas for example. In those case, don’t use red around the mouth or the eyes, favor white or brown. Brown is better, it’s a better moisturizer, but white under the eyes keeps the sweat away, it’s more resistant to water so it’s good on rainy days. Yellow and brown are also a good sun block.”

“Fascinating,” Stitches mumbled, writing quickly in a notebook.

“What’s the point of red, then?” Krem asked.

“It’s scary,” Bull replied with a smirk.

Herah snorted and carefully outlined his eyes. “There is that. Red is also fluider, it’s easier to make complex drawings with it. Red vitaar is used for parades, demonstrations of power or even as part of a uniform in the Antaam. On the field, neutral colors are always better. Which is just as well because they’re also cheaper. Vashoth have a saying…” she started, focused intently on Bull’s bad eye… or rather his empty socket. It was impressive to see but it worried her rather than repulsed her. No matter what he said, she didn’t want to hurt him. She worked carefully around it. “... that red is for show-offs.”

Krem snorted and stared at his superior’s face. “Well, that explains some things.”

Bull grunted without looking away from Herah. “Appearances are important.”

Herah hummed distractedly. “Who are you going to impress?”

“The noble who hired the Valo-kas. If all goes well, you should be able to go back home soon.”

“Is that so?” She pulled back to admire her work and finally met his eyes. The corner of her lips pulled up. “What a shame. Here I was, thinking I could become a make-up artist for Cyclops.”

He snorted and gently slapped her thigh. “If you’re bored playing nanny for a band of Tal-Vashoth, that can be arranged.”

She rubbed her fingers with a rag before using a clean forefinger to scoop some white paint. With a smirk, she dropped a dot of white on the tip of his nose. “Duly noted.”

Two days later, during the evening, Herah was playing Wicked Grace with the Chargers when Bull caught her eye and gestured for her to follow him.

She found him sitting on his bed in his private room and closed the door behind her at his request.

“I got news from Shokrakar. Here are your orders.”

She took the letter offered to her and read it quickly. It was short. Her leader was simply explaining where and when to find them with references that only a Valo-kas could understand. “Alright.” She glanced at him. His staring somehow felt even more intense in this instant. “Thanks for the vacation, I guess?”

He snorted and leaned forward with his forearms on his knees. “You’re welcome. It felt good to exchange a few words in Qunlat, for once.”

Taking her leave now felt wrong, somehow. She hesitated and then took a step forward. When he didn’t try to stop her, she sat down by his side. “It must be lonely to be the only one of your kind around.”

“Sometimes,” he agreed calmly.

“I was lonely when I was a kid and at least I had my mom,” she admitted distractedly. She wasn’t really looking for an answer and he didn’t give her one. “But you have a good group here. The Chargers... they care about you. They don’t fear you for who you are. You’re lucky.”

“Yeah.”

She smiled, a bit lopsidedly. “I bet you didn’t have sex with someone who wasn’t a head shorter than you in a while, though.”

“Nope,” he confirmed, still unflappable. After a few seconds under her glare, he let the mask go and smirked at her. “You offering?”

“You know I am, idiot.” She hit him in the shoulder until he caught her wrist, laughing.

“I’d hate to pressure a prisoner into sex,” he said, his breath caressing the soft skin of her palm as he slowly pulled her on his lap.

“A prisoner? Please! You and your guys are shitty jailers. Just kiss me, you qalaba!” She determinedly straddled his lap and looked him in the eye.

He smirked. “That’s it, talk to me in dirty qunlat, sweetheart.”

“You like it when I call you a stupid cow? Damn, you really are on Qunlat withdrawal.”

His arm _finally_ went around her waist to pull her close. “Are you going to do something about that?”

She blushed slightly. “I… don’t know much about dirty talk in Qunlat.”

“Shall _I_ do something about that?”

“I’m always willing to learn.”

“That’s the spirit,” he whispered huskily before capturing her lips. He was sweet and gentle, which wasn’t exactly what she was expecting, but she wasn't going to complain.

She tilted her head afterward, her breath a little short. “I didn’t think that Qunlat would be very appropriate for dirty talk."

“It’s not as… colorful as Common with some terms,” he agreed, helping her remove her jacket and scarf. “It depends on what kind of sex you want.”

She threw her clothes somewhere towards a stool without looking away from him (it dropped on the floor). “What… kind? What do you suggest?”

“Depends on you. Do you understand what would roleplay mean?”

“It’s when you pretend to be someone else or to act a certain part in a scenario? I had to be the bodyguard of a noblewoman who liked to do things like that. She was _really_ loud.”

Bull snorts. “Yeah, that’s it. Would you like to try it?”

She hesitated. “Maybe?” 

“Let’s see how this goes, but it’s fine if you’re not interested, sweetheart,” he promised, squeezing her hip gently. “Qunlat is very colorful about two things: bas and Tal-vashoth.” He waited for her to react.

She didn’t disappoint. Her face lighted up in understanding. “Oh! I heard about that in camp! Are we playing ‘Tal-vashoth and Tamassran’? or ‘bas and Qunari’? or a variation?”

“What would you like?”

“Well, I wouldn’t know how to pretend to be a Tamassran,” she admitted right away, frowning in thought. “But I think I could follow your lead with pretty much anything else… Just light play though, I need to be able to walk tomorrow.”

“You got it, pet. What will be your watchword? A word you can use to tell me to stop, at anytime? Something you wouldn’t say otherwise?”

“Mh…” He had pulled her shirt out of her trousers and was stroking her skin under it. It wasn’t helping her to focus. “Uh… Artichoke?”

Bull stopped his caresses and stared.

“What?” She blushed fiercely. “I hate artichokes! Mom used to cook them all the time when we didn’t have money.”

Bull chuckled but nodded his head in assent. “Alright, then. Artichoke, it is. Are you sure you won’t mixed it up with Arishok?”

She froze, groaned and raised her hands to pretend to strangle him. “Well, now I will!”

The damned man burst into laughter.

“You’re so frustrating, I can’t believe this,” she grumbled. “Fine. Watchword, watchword… Aurum.”

“Ok. You say aurum and I stop. Deal?”

“Deal.”

“Good.” Just like that, there was a switch and Bull was all sultry tones and smoldering look. It stole Herah’s breath away. ”You’re fine with me treating you like a naughty girl?”

“Y-yeah.”

“Good. Let’s get those boots off, then lie down on the bed, bas.”

Herah never had followed an order in the bedroom faster than she did that night.

Bull exhausted her, true, but her mind was rarely quiet.

“I… don’t think I’ll leave the Valo-kas anytime soon,” Herah admitted point blank, too afraid that there might be a misunderstanding if she didn’t.

He nodded. “I thought so. You miss them. It’s just as well...” He shifted in a more comfortable position. “We might have had some differences of opinions, in the end.”

“Is that so?”

He hummed but didn’t say more.

“Alright,” she said, accepting that there were some things he kept hidden from a stranger. They just had sex together but it was just that: sex… Well, _really good_ sex. “Still… if we ever are in the same town again…”

He smirked and squeezed her hip. “We should share a drink and a bed.”

“Yes.” Pleased that they were on the same page, Herah nodded and settled against his side for a good night, her last as a ‘prisoner’.

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> 1 Shit  [ [return](%E2%80%9C#return1%E2%80%9D) ]
> 
> This can end in three ways:  
> 1) If this is not an AU but just pre-Inquisition, they meet up just like in game, Herah is surprised to discover that Bull is a Qunari spy but she rolls with it because she has worse things to worry about and she definitely needs the sex-relief.  
> 2) It's an AU, Inquisition storyline doesn't happen. They meet from time to time for a while but finally go their separate ways.  
> 3) AU. After this or another night together, Herah gets pregnant and looks for Bull to tell him the news. Bull has no idea what he's supposed to do. The Chargers adopt the baby instantly, even unborn, and they won't stop giving him/her weird names. Herah and Bull end up being called "Mum" and "Dad". 
> 
> I admit that writing the 3rd ending is tempting... what do you think?


	2. The Little Bull

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> The start of this was in my draft for years/months. I finally finished it after dreaming of the Iron Bull last night and being inspired to write short bits to complete it. 
> 
> So this is option 3: AU. After chapter 1 or another night together, Herah gets pregnant and looks for Bull to tell him the news.

The Bull’s Chargers could be heard from outside the inn, their laughter and banter echoing each time the door opened.

Leaning against the wall, Herah stayed unmoving for several minutes, breathing slowly and psyching herself up. She had gone to a lot of effort to find them and come to them, she wasn’t going to back down now. She had made up her mind: she was going to tell him. Whatever happened afterwards, she would be at peace with herself. Still, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t afraid of his reaction. Rejection was a possibility, and she wasn’t looking forward to it.

A dwarf walked into the inn. She followed him.

As always, Bull was easy to locate. He prefered a seat at the head of a table with his back to a wall and Krem on his weak side. Most innkeepers also prefered the mercenaries to be in the back or in a corner, where the calmer customers wouldn’t feel threatened.

Herah passed by the merchants, the waitresses and the bar, ignoring the stares her stature always attracted.

It was early evening. Without surprise, the Chargers were playing cards. Skinner was the first to notice her. “Look who’s there,” she drawled.

As they looked up one by one, a chorus of greetings welcomed Herah. She smiled at them all.

They had seen each other several times since she had been their prisoner. They never had been on opposite teams since, and they treated her nicely. Apart from some gentle teasing when she left their leader’s room in the morning, they didn’t seem to care one way or another about her sleeping with Bull. She wondered what they would think now…

“Herah,” Bull called jovially, raising an arm in greeting and invitation to join him. “I wasn’t aware that the Valo-kas were around.”

“They aren’t,” she replied, stopping by his side. “I’m alone. I need to talk to you.” She let him put a hand on her hip under her coat, but her serious tone showed that she wasn’t here for a roll in the hay.

Sobering quickly, Bull put on his emotionless mask. “Alright,” he agreed calmly. “I fold. Behave, guys,” he told his company as he stood up. He led her towards the stairs leading to the rooms above and stayed quiet until he closed the door of his private room behind them.

They looked at each other, observing the small differences in each other since the last time they met, three months ago in Val Royeaux. Bull looked good. The scar on his shoulder — which he had received a little before that last time — had healed well. As for her, the clothes she wore hide most of the changes. She had never been the kind of people to show much skin.

As he liked to do, Bull waited for her to speak first.

Clenching her fists in her pockets, Herah straightened, breathed deeply one last time, and admitted point blank with a clear voice : “I’m pregnant.”

It was a proof of Bull’s perfect self-control that he only blinked at the announcement.

“And I didn’t sleep with anyone else but you in years. It’s yours,” she added, to prevent any doubts.

When Bull didn’t react for several seconds, Herah started to fidget. “Say something or I’m going to hit you,” she warned.

His chest inflated as he inhaled sharply, breaking the illusion of a statue. He shook his head. “What do you want me to say? ... Why are you here, Herah? I’m Tal-Vashoth, you know I have no clue how to deal with this.”

That probably answered his stance on the subject. Fine. She wasn’t expecting much more. At least he wasn’t accusing her of lying about her pregnancy or his paternity. Small mercies had to be appreciated.

“I know,” she replied tersely. “I just thought you had the right to know, that’s all.” If she had to be a single mother then so be it. Her mother had managed it. She could do it as well, especially since she would have the Valo-kas’ support. Still, she couldn’t deny the bitterness slowly creeping up her throat, threatening to steal her voice as disappointment made her shoulders sag slightly. If she thought about it for too long, she might start to cry and that was out of question unless she was alone. “Now that’s done, I’ll be out of your way.”

She tried to walk to the door. An arm caught her around the waist before she could reach it.

“Hey,” Bull said softly, “slow down.” He pulled her back against his side and leaned down to smell her hair.

Slowly, his warmth and touch got her to relax and hope that he wouldn’t reject her and the child completely. He might not want to participate in raising the baby, but if he wanted to see him or her from time to time… it was still more than she had had, and she couldn’t deny that to her child.

“You’re three months along, right?” He asked.

“Yes.”

He hummed and stroked the top of her hair. “What about the Valo-kas?”

“They know. Shokrakar said they’d have my back if I need them.”

“Isn’t that good?”

“Better than nothing, sure, but a mercenary band of Tal-Vashoth isn’t exactly the best place to raise a small kid, Bull. We’re too often the target of bigots for me to feel safe with a defenseless child.”

He hummed in understanding. “You got a room anywhere?”

“No. I just arrived in town,” she replied, pulling on her backpack’s straps as proof.

“Alright. You’re staying with me for now. Let me think about this. We’ll speak about it again.”

She nodded in agreement. At least, Bull didn’t seem eager to get rid of her. That looked more promising than what she had feared.

Bull left her to settle in his room. She put down her rucksack, her coat, her shield and her sword at the foot of the bed before dropping on the mattress, exhausted by the trip and the evening’s emotions.

Half an hour later, she was dozing when the door opened after a small knock. Stitches and Krem came in, followed by Bull.

“Hi Herah,” Krem greeted her with a wide smile before offering her a bowl and a spoon. “We guessed you didn’t have dinner yet. The stew here is pretty good.”

“Their lightest drink is cinder, if that’s alright with you,” Stitches added, putting down a glass on the nightstand.

“I take it you told them,” she said to Bull as she sat up.

“Just them, for now,” he replied.

“I’m no midwife,” Stitches said, “but I know the basics if you need anything.”

“We’ve got your back. You need anything, you tell us,” Krem insisted.

She nodded, pinching her lips to keep the tears at bay. The fatigue was catching up with her and making it much harder to keep her composure. She hid it by eating a mouthful of stew, her head tilted toward the bowl.

Bull noticed something was wrong anyway (it was hard to hide anything from him) and got his men out of the room before he sat down by her side.

“I’m fine,” she muttered before he could ask.

He hummed in answer.

She sniffed and leaned against his side. “Gimme a hug,” she muttered.

He lifted her on his lap and held her against his chest, leaning his chin on her shoulder to kiss her jaw.

That would do.

 

*

 

“Ma’am! The little bull’s still bothering you today?”

Herah groaned in distaste and despair at the Chargers’ habit of giving her unborn kid silly pet names. ‘The little bull’ was the most common but most annoying one. Her kid wasn’t an animal nor his father’s alone. If Herah wasn’t busy holding a bucket to empty her guts, she would have already hit Dalish for speaking (and the elf knew it, no doubt taking advantage of her weakness).

“I’m gonna tell Stitches to make you that tea you like!”

Herah didn’t bother thanking her. The Chargers took way too much pleasure in pampering her. They didn’t need to be encouraged.

 

*

 

“Can you pass me a blanket, please, Mum?”

Silence settled around the campfire as discussions stopped and the Chargers turned toward Krem.

“What?”

“You just called Herah, Mum,” the Iron Bull pointed out helpfully.

Krem blushed fiercely and stuttered in denial. “N-no, I didn’t. I called her Ma’am!”

Before they could burst into an argument on whether he had said it or not, Herah interrupted loudly: “Shut the fuck up everyone. It’s fine. Call me Mum, Ma’am or whatever, I’m already used to your stupid pet names,” she sighed and throw a blanket at Krem. “I’m going to sleep, be quiet.”

“Yes, Mum!” was the immediate group answer.

She grunted and entered the tent she shared with the Iron Bull.

What rowdy kids.

 

*

 

“Ataashi.”

Herah snorted and shook her head. “That’s so unimaginative,” she sighed while curling closer to the Iron Bull’s side. The night was cold and he was always so warm. It was too bad that his horns didn’t allow them to spoon. She tuck her feet under his calf. “No-one wanted to bet against me when I told them you’d choose that, that’s how predictable you are.”

“So… yes?”

“Yes, fine, whatever. Let’s go for dragon. As long as they stop calling him or her ‘little bull’,” she grumbled.

“It’s cute.”

She huffed. “No, it’s not.”

His large hand went to her big belly and stroke the delicate skin distended by eight months of pregnancy. Herah shivered but didn’t move. Bull was touchy-feely and had become somewhat fascinated with her belly. He liked the contact, and she didn’t mind.

His other hand went to her full breasts and she stifled a moan against the pillow.

So, he also had a pregnancy kink, there was that.

“Admit it’s cute,” he whispered in her ear while cupping her through her shirt.

She shook her head and hid her face from him. He could make her say anything he wanted when he was determined enough, but she would be damned if she was going to cave on this subject!

Bull got to work in changing her mind. She only relented in admitting it would be acceptable if the baby was a boy. If it was a girl, she would better never hear of it ever again.

 

*

 

It was a boy.

“Ten fucking hours of labor,” Herah muttered from the mass of pillows and blankets in which she was lounging. “And where were you during all that? Chasing fucking giant spiders. Typical male bullshit.”

“Come on, kadan,” Bull coaxed her gently, “I already said I was sorry. Don’t you want a family hug instead? Ataashi definitely wants family cuddles. Yes, you do, don’t you, my little dragon? What a beautiful, fierce little dragon.”

Herah grumbled and glanced at her lover. Bull was holding their son with tender care and the softest, happiest look she had ever seen him wear. He was cooing worse than a grandma and teasing the newborn with little caresses of his big fingers.

She thawed and patted the bed beside her. “Come here, you idiot.”

He sat down eagerly and showed her the round face of their child. “He looks like you.”

“How can you see that? He looks like any other newborn.”

“Well, I wouldn’t know... but he has your hair.”

“... Right. Yes, he has red hair. Sorry about that, kid. Still one more subject of jokes you’ll have to deal with,” Herah sighed with a shake of her head.

A knock at the door announced Krem’s arrival, with his arms full of gifts. “The Valo-kas sent a package! It’s full of cute things.”

“If there is anything about a bull in it, burn it,” Herah immediately ordered. She knew her brothers in arms. The Chargers had dared mention their running joke to them last time they visited and now they were all in it. Jerks, all of them.

“Don’t,” Bull denied, “just give it to me.”

“I hate you,” Herah sighed as Krem handed over a small wooden bull.

Bull kissed her to quiet her ire. She curled into his side and accepted her fate as mother of a little bull. She supposed it could be worse.

  


**Notes for the Chapter:**
